Piping Flange Fundamentals
In Piping Flange Fundamentals, you'll learn ...
- Flange types and applications
- Applicable piping codes, standards and specifications
- Flange materials, faces, surfaces and gaskets
- Nondestructive testing of piping flanges
Overview
Fluids must move within piping systems in a safe and efficient manner, and it is pipes, joints, and valves, that allow this to occur. But what are joints?
A joint can be welded, screwed, or bolted. This course covers the topic of bolted joints within piping systems. Specifically, you will learn about flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, which are the essential components of bolted joints.
This is an ideal course for anyone working in the Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, or Chemical Engineering industries, but it is also useful for any working engineer (flanges are everywhere!).
